2764. It was narrated that Anas bin Mâlik said: "When the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was returning from the campaign of Tabuk, and had drawn close to Al-Madinah, he said: 'In Al-Madinah there are people who, as you traveled and crossed valleys, were with you.' They said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, even though they were in Al-Madinah?' He said: 'Even though they were in Al-Madinah. They were kept behind by (legitimate) excuses.'" (Sahih)

'Being with the fighters in Allâh's cause though they were in Madinah' means having a share in the reward of enduring the hardships of the journey. They deserved this reward for the sincerity of their intentions.
